Abstract

A plug includes a plug main body used to engage with a socket and a securing member secured to the plug main body. The securing member includes a securing portion. When the plug is engaged with the socket, the securing member is rotatable relative to the socket to engage the securing portion with the socket. The disclosure further provides a connector with the plug.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A plug comprising:
 a plug main body configured to engage with a socket; 
 a securing member rotatably attached to the plug main body and comprising a securing portion; and 
 a resilient member with a first end secured to the plug main body and a second end secured to the securing member; 
 wherein when the plug is engaged with the socket, the securing member enables the securing portion to securely engage with the socket. 
 
     
     
       2. The plug of  claim 1 , wherein the securing portion is a slot and comprises a guiding portion and a positioning portion communicating with the guiding portion, and the positioning portion is slanted relative to the guiding portion. 
     
     
       3. The plug of  claim 1 , wherein the resilient member is located between the securing member and the plug main body, and the resilient member is deformable when the plug is engaged with the socket. 
     
     
       4. The plug of  claim 1 , wherein a mounting hole is defined in the plug main body, a securing hole is defined in the securing member, the first end of the resilient member is engaged in the mounting hole, and the second end of the resilient member is engaged in the securing hole. 
     
     
       5. The plug of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member is substantially a cylinder and defines a receiving hole, and the plug main body is received in the receiving hole. 
     
     
       6. The plug of  claim 1 , wherein the plug main body comprises a screw portion, and the securing member comprises an internal thread engaged with the screw portion. 
     
     
       7. The plug of  claim 1 , further comprising a cable and a shielding member, wherein the shielding member is secured to the plug main body and the cable. 
     
     
       8. A connector comprising:
 a plug comprising a plug main body, a securing member rotatably attached to the plug main body, and a resilient member with a first end secured to the plug main body and a second end secured to the securing member; and 
 a socket located on an electronic device and comprising a socket main body and a clipping portion coupled to the socket main body; 
 wherein when the plug is engaged with the socket, the securing member rotates relative to the socket to clip the securing member with the socket. 
 
     
     
       9. The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the securing member defines a slot which comprising a guiding portion and a positioning portion communicating with the guiding portion, and the positioning portion is slanted relative to the guiding portion. 
     
     
       10. The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the resilient member is located between the securing member and the plug main body, and the resilient member is deformable when the plug is engaged with the socket. 
     
     
       11. The connector of  claim 8 , wherein a mounting hole is defined in the plug main body, a securing hole is defined in the securing member, the first end of the resilient member is engaged in the mounting hole, and the second end of the resilient member is engaged in the securing hole. 
     
     
       12. The plug of  claim 8 , wherein the securing member is substantially a cylinder and defines a receiving hole, and the plug main body is received in the receiving hole. 
     
     
       13. The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the socket comprises an accommodating portion, the socket main body is located in the accommodating portion, and the clipping portion is coupled to the socket main body and an inner surface of the accommodating portion. 
     
     
       14. The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the plug main body comprises a screw portion, and the securing member comprises an internal thread engaged with the screw portion. 
     
     
       15. The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the plug further comprises a cable and a shielding member, and the shielding member is secured to the plug main body and the cable. 
     
     
       16. A connector comprising:
 a plug comprising a plug main body and a securing member rotatably attached to the plug main body; and 
 a socket located on an electronic device and comprising a socket main body and a clipping portion coupled to the socket main body; 
 wherein when the plug is engaged with the socket, the securing member rotates relative to the socket to clip the securing member with the socket; the socket further comprises an accommodating portion, the socket main body is located in the accommodating portion, and the clipping portion is coupled to the socket main body and an inner surface of the accommodating portion.
